My girls were a big fan of princesses, so we met all of them. We tried our best to match dresses with them.

Hi there, I got it from Amazon. It's from the seller "Disguise"

This dress was purchased from Temu

Hi there, we didn't go on any excursions or do any shopping during this trip. From past experiences, all the excursion sites take credit card (although I highly DON'T recommend this method of payment). If you are planning to do excursions, they range about 70-200 per person. We usually set aside 30-40 dollars for tips everyday (this is optional, the price you paid actually includes tips).

Hi there. Yes, you can just walk in. The only one that requires reservation is Zen (Tappenyaki). We actually didn't know so we went without a reservation. They told us if we don't have a reservation, we can only eat sushi, not teppanyaki. After checking with another staff, they realized a family with reservation didn't show up, so we took their teppanyaki place at the table.

@@KeevasFamily thank you!!

Hi, yes, both the washroom and showers are very close, about 1 minute walk

Hi there, I answered under your question thread. Let me know if you have any more questions.

Hi there, we have 3 kids. We booked 2 rooms because the grandparents also tagged along. When we booked, we told the hotel the first room was 2 adults 2 kids, the second was 2 adults 1 kid. When we actually stayed, all 3 kids stayed in my room. We used the ottoman to make a baby bed between the 2 actual beds. If you tell them you want 5 people in 1 room, I think they'll make you upgrade to the larger room, which costs a lot more.

@@KeevasFamily thank you for your answer, the thing is my younger babies are 17 months old and the older ones are 10 and 8 I can’t leave them in separate room by themselves unless is open to our room. Wish they would agree for one junior suite it’s so enough and spacious for all of us. Do you have contact information or travel agent that work with them?

@@zena.corner We always book with Selloffvacations. They do have connecting rooms, but you cannot book it yourself. In the past, we have called the agents at Selloffvacations and they were able to get us a connecting room, also a nice 50 dollars off discount.

Royalton splash is miles better than crown paradise. Royalton is truly a 5 star hotel. The service, amenities, shows, food, everything is beyond spectacular. Crown paradise claims to be a 4 star, it's more of a 3.5 star. Of course, it's also much cheaper, so it mostly depends on your budget.

@@KeevasFamilythank you! I love your content. Keep it coming !!

thanks so much! that means a lot!

Hi there, Paradisus for sure! The resort is much newer, there's a big playground for kids, there's more food options. The only advantage Grand Sirenis had was a better beach. The sandy area at paradisus was much smaller.

How was your experience?

Hi there, we booked through selloffvacations. The only way to guarantee connecting room is to call their agent and tell them instead of booking online yourself. You can also ask them if there are any special promotions right now. Sometimes they knock off an extra 25 bux per room.

@KeevasFamily hi there, did your family have to purchase travel insurance. I was told it was mandatory?

hi there. It's definitely NOT mandatory. However, if you have young kids, you might want to get it for ease of mind. I've been travelling with young kids for many years. Sometimes, the pool water isn't as clean, the food often gave them stomach problems. We've had to use our insurance a couple of times. We have a great credit card which comes with travel insurance for the card holder and their immediate family. So we've never actually purchased any travel insurance. Check with your credit card company to find out if your card comes with travel insurance. If it does, make sure you book your vacation with that credit card.@@lindatran614

@KeevasFamily thank you so much! I just booked. The reviews are very discouraging. Please let me know what I need to bring with us. I have a 2 year old baby. Do they have milk?

Yes, not everyday though. Cold milk right next to the very limited cereal section. They are not consistent with what they put out everyday. In my vague memory, I remember they consistently had several jugs filled with weird tasting yogurt for breakfast, and cold tea. No juice at all. I'd bring some formula just in case. @@lindatran614

HI there, yes there was, right next to the theatre. A large tennis court and a half size basketball court. No lock, you can walk right in. I never saw it being used though. I don't recall any employees working at that area.

ok thank you were also leaving to go on the 28th@@KeevasFamily

Hope you have lots of fun!@@danibuca

Hi there. When i visited, it was 25 degrees for the first 2 days, 27ish for the rest. Super sunny everyday. 25 degrees was kind of cold for me, but it seemed fine for other travellers (I get cold easily). I wore my wetsuit. 27 degrees was perfect.

Hi there, there's a desk in the lobby (across from reception desk) which opens at 9am (I believe, double check with reception) everyday. You can make the reservations for your entire trip in one sitting. A hotel worker will help you do the reservation by hand. They'll give you a handwritten note with your reservation info. By 9:30am, there's a huge line going around the lobby, so make sure you start lining up before 9am.

Perfect 🤩 thank you so much for your help!! And how was the food in the resort by the way?

not the best. The buffet barely changed from day to day. Huge lineup for omelettes in the morning. The A-la-cart restaurants all serve the same food. You won't starve, but don't expect much. Just remember you are there for the amazing beach.@@Nicnic-bb8wo

yeah, it's a very big pool. The smaller lazy river is also heated.

Hi there, I made a tips and tricks video detailing all the things you need to know. You get unlimited amount of towels. There are lots of people who grab a bunch when they eat breakfast and place them onto chairs they want to reserve. I suggest you to do the same because I went during low season, and all the chairs were taken by lunch. Since you have a 2 year old, I recommend saving a seat near the heated pool. It's also a short distance to the beach and a hidden beach bar below. It's my fav spot. If you are diamond club, you can make restaurant reservations through your butler. If you are not, like us, there is no option to reserve. You just have to show up and wait in line. Go right when they open, you'll find a copy of the schedule on your room TV. Please check it out and let me know if you have any questions. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnOzd4x8rbxlr8k

We went November 2023

@@thinkcubegames9905 Awesome. Thank you!! :)

anytime😃 Let me know if you. have more questions.@@jonathanelias1442

Hi there, the only restaurant that requires reservation is Zen. If you are not diamond club, you cannot make any reservations. Just have to line up. If you upgraded to diamond club, you can ask your butler to make a reservation to ensure you get in.

Hi there, we went in November 2023. We bought a portable air pump which requires battery. We fully charged the battery in Canada and it was enough to last us throughout the trip. They sell it at Home depot.

@@KeevasFamily good idea thanks

I've. never been to the Punta Cana one, but I heard it's similar to this Cancun one. With a better beach, but the property is a lot older. If you do end up going, please let me know how it is. Cheers!

Have you been somewhere you liked that you would recommend for families with teens and a 9 year old?

@@heatherhewitt3316 Grand Moon Palace…Good food..nice resort.. lots of things to do for teens for example : Large water slides , arcade , bumper cars , teens dance hang out club non alcoholic drinks served , entertainment is good, bowling and jungle gym just to name a few . Teens will not be bored ..and adults will not be bored as well.

Have you been to Dominican? If so, Which is better in terms of food, Dominican or Mexico?

I was in Punta Cana and the food is not that great with the service but the beaches and the ocean is way better .I am sure their are good resorts with good food but the ones I went to two were not the greatest but one was almost good but service sucks compared to Mexico . . @@ccm4715

@@moneymaker251when did you go to moon palace the grand?

Hi there, I haven't been to Moon palace so cannot give you any comparison unfortunately. From my research, it seems moom palace is a bit more expensive than Royalton. It has a smaller waterpark, but better restaurants. The best hotel we've stayed at is Hotel Xcaret. They've jacked up the price a lot these years. For 6 and 8 years old, I would recommend Occidental at Xcaret. Both the hotel and the park is very family friendly (all at an affordable price) You can get the unlimited Xcaret park pass for 7 days. It's exclusive only to guests who stay in Occidental. I have a video if you are interested, just search Keeva Family Xcaret.

@@KeevasFamily Thank you so much! It’s so hard to choose just one but I will definitely look at your recommendations

@nyc3831, have you decided where? I’m trying to decide on Moon Palace or Royalton too.

Hi there, I don't think I did

-If you are planning to go to the Cave restaurant (which opens at 6), send someone to start lining up at 5:30. If you go there at 6, you will be waiting for an hour outside, then be turned away. -the 2 bigger waterslides(green/yellow, and blue) are quite dangerous. Make sure you keep your butt in the air as you slide down to avoid butt injuries. -The kid's club is awesome, make sure you BRING SOCKS for everyone. they are quite strict on this rule. The also don't have any for sale, just keep a pair for everyone in your handbag. -bring tubes for the lazy river. They only have a couple that are free for use. Often there's a lineup for tubes. -Just keep in mind there is no maximum number of towels which you can take out, so many people use them to reserve seats by the pool. If you don't go early, you won't get a seat. if you have anymore questions, just let me know

Awesome, thank you so much for the advice. @@KeevasFamily
